Anti-Homecoming 10/29/11

Oh wow, it was such a fail. But an awesome fail. xD

Ross was giving us a ride there, so Clarie came over and we talked for a bit while I tried to find a coat to wear. Then I found out Clarie's friend wasn't coming so, oh well, sucks for him. =P Then we get in Ross's car and start driving to Walnut Creek to find out none of us knows how to get there, at which point the "Oh my gosh"s of the day start for Ross. So I call Brandon and ask him to look up directions for us.

We get there, drive around looking for parking, and head off to buy out tickets. So Ross sees some people coming out and just goes in, and we follow him. But all the while, I'm like, those doors didn't have handles on the outside... And yes, we totally just inadvertantly snuck into a movie theater. xD We still went out and bought tickets though. Then we went off to Barnes&Noble and read some books, listened to some music, etc.

Went back to the movie theater, bought some drinks. The cashier dude rang us up wrong because he thought our iced mochas were frapps. I don't blame him, but it was funny. xD

In Time was pretty good - I'd recommend it. I definitely like the idea of time as currency. It would seriously suck, but it's a pretty intriguing concept.

Then we walked around for like, and hour and a half doing absolutely nothing. It was a downtown area, which is basically all shopping and restaurants, and none of us really like shopping or were hungry. So after awhile, we decided to drive back to Danville and do something there, which ended up being bowling. 98 points! Better than that 19 I got over the summer with six frames of gutter balls... xD

Then we dropped by In-N-Out since Ross seemed hungry, but of course wouldn't admit it, and got some food before we went back to my house.

Watch part of Castle in the Sky, but Ross and Clarie both had to leave at like midnight. I felt sort of bad for keeping them so long, especially since Ross's mom phoned at like 11:45 asking where he was and stuff... =\ But it was definitely fun. =]

Highlight of the day? We were sitting watching the movie at my house, and I hear water glugging. I look at Ross since he's the one with the water bottle, and he's completely spaced out, just POURING it on himself. It was so amazingly epic. xD

Homecoming 10/28/11

The morning parades were freaking awesome. The little kids are so cute! Plus we got to go on the swings and stuff at Twin Creeks. =]

Got Chipotle for lunch, yum! Plus a DQ cone. Ross and Peter were talking about cloning me, feeding the clones candy, then putting them in human hamster wheels to power America. -Texas has a blackout- "Oh woops, one of the Ericas must have fainted..."

Homecoming parade was fun too, except my boots super scraped up the backs of my feet... Ah well. -yawns-


*****
The homecoming game was tough. People forgot headbands, shoes, tights... We had a few flags missing so we were short some for a while, which was stressful since we had the exact amount needed. We were still having trouble with work too... Then we had a some drama - I was accused of putting down and talking trash about the guard, which I would never do. They took a phrase out of context which definitely sounded bad, but it wasn't what I meant at all...

The actual show went pretty well, especially considering we only had two days of practice, but half the guard ran off the field at the end and we were supposed to stay to form a "corridor" for the senior royalty to go through. Ah well, no harm done.

Then we lost our homecoming game... It was a good fight though. We totally could have won - it was literally down to the last second, and the ball was passed to a guy in the end zone, and he had it in his fingers, and fumbled... I felt SO bad for him...

In any case, it was fun. I need to find a dress for tomorrow now...

Halloween/Homecoming Parades Tomorrow!

Guard all day tomorrow! Super excited! This is undoubtedly one of my favorite days of the year, and tomorrow's my last one... It's so chill, I get to hang with friends and have an awesome time. Plus it's the one day the band dances with the guard, and it's, if nothing else, hilarious. And we get to skip school, which is always nice.

I also posted my first (or three, rather) Youtube videos today. They're super crappy quality, but the guard needed videos for the Homecoming routine, since the one we took during practice got deleted or something, so I convinced my mom to let me spin inside (no tosses though). But yeah, I feel accomplished. xD

So tomorrow is going to be absolutely awesome. Then I get to cram college apps and homework (like that critical essay...) over the (three-day!) weekend...

First Critical Essay Profile

Successfully completed! Time: 1:46am.

I actually read my whole book and didn't use Sparknotes/Cliffnotes/Shmoop for anything except to check characters and rephrase some agendas. So proud of myself! Still completely screwed for the essay though...

In any case, Dusky fell asleep, so I'm going to bed. No update tonight beyond yay for finishing, way too tired for that. Night!

Calc Work Problems

Leaking buckets in wells, troughs shaped like cylinders and hemispheres... The world of physics is rather impractical at times. It's like, "You'll be able to apply this in real life later! But for now, we're going to make you solve scenarios that would never actually occur." Ah well. I finished my assignment and have no idea what I just did...

365 Challenge - Sort of Failed?

After COSMOS, I completely forgot I was doing this until I saw Clarie's post about it... Well, I still pretty much made a post a day, I just didn't follow the titles. I'm sort of too lazy to continue it now, so deal with it. xD

Finishing Off Foothill

According to Courtney, it's the only competition we've gone to all four years, so I'll go with that, since it sounds right. Like last year, we didn't place. And like last year, we didn't do too badly either, but we definitely could have placed...

Woke up at like 5-ish and got ready. I'm FINALLY cutting down my makeup-applying time. It only takes me like 5-10 minutes now. After four years. That's sort of sad, but hey, I don't have practice every day for that like some people... xD So I actually finished about ten minutes before Ross came and picked me up, so that was nice. We had a weird conversation about lots of weird stuff on the way there. And on the way back, but whatever. I miss our carpool convos...

The actual competition went pretty well in general - we definitely had some blips that we shouldn't have had, but overall, it was pretty good. They actually announced auxiliary captains in the beginning this time around - it was sort of weird... We scored in the mid-70s, and were one point away from placing 3rd in our division. At least I didn't drop, or else I'd be blaming myself for that point loss, even if it's probably closer to two drops to bring the score down a point (unless it's a super bad drop that wasn't recovered well). I didn't do the flip at the end though; my thumb got caught in the strap. I REALLY need to practice that more...

Not going to lie either, this comp seemed sort of surreal. There were quite a few times where I completely took in the moment, like, "I'm really doing this." There was one four-count phrase where I was pretty much going off of muscle memory (which isn't exactly good, but...). It's been a while since I've had that feeling - I used to get it all the time during field, because of the environment and the length of the show, but it's been pretty less frequent during parade.

Chris came and visited! He totally got there too late to watch us perform though. Lame. =P It's okay, we talked for a bit and he met Ross - I miss the Go5 like crazy... We are totally getting together during winter break.

Went home, took a shower, ate food. I was planning on doing homework but I sort of fell asleep instead... Same thing happened to Ross apparently. Fun. xD

So symphonic and wind placed 3rd and 1st for the concert competition, but MB/CG didn't get anything at all... =[ We had the highest marching score for our division though! Guard, as I said, was one point away from third, and percussion was 0.2 points away from placing (which is sort of depressing for them)...

To be honest, guard completely has the potential to do super well, it's just the practice etiquette and overall attitude. Band's apparently having the same problem. People just put too much stuff above band or guard, and it's ridiculous. Even with the guard, which normally has perfect attendence at all practices and sectionals, there's just a focus problem. I admit, I talk a lot too, but I know when I need to crack down and work. It's not just an extracurricular - it's a passion and a discipline. It's not some activity where you can be content with where you are at the current point - no team should be like that. I've never kidded myself that I had a perfect show. I've had anything from super crappy to great shows, but never a perfect show. There's always something that can be done better, and I don't think people realize that. Just because you didn't drop doesn't mean you had a perfect show. Just because your work looked like everyone else's doesn't mean you had a perfect show. You need to PERFORM. You need to OWN the work and make it yours, and even then, you probably won't have a perfect show. I don't know if my expectations are higher because of how I was first taught by Kelly and Jhay, but I don't think my expectations are ridiculous in any way. We just need to work harder. We're doing well, but I know we can do better - I'd really like to break 80 my last season, just once...

Four more weeks and two more competitions. Work it.

Psych Can Be So Easily Related to Everything...

I always have an opportunity to bring up econ in that class. And marching band/guard. It's pretty fun. Poor Courtney has to endure all of my not-so-witty comments throughout class. xD

I got to teach psych today (sort of), and I did it with math (and felt like a supreme nerd). But the class said it helped when Mrs. Fitch asked, so I felt sort of accomplished. It was pretty fun actually. Ross went up to teach them with his method too, but his example of spanking was ridiculous because he was talking about mice... It was sort of like, oh dear...

*****

The guard sectional was pretty fun. I'm slightly more confident about being able to do the ending, although I totally hit the side of my head catching the toss one time - it's still a little tender but pretty much good. I should be okay. I got this! And I get to see Chris and Brandon tomorrow, so all the more reason to not drop...

We learned some of the homecoming dance too. It's pretty simple but looks cool. The band's going to have fun doing it... xD I hope it looks as awesome as Thriller did last year! =]

Ross gave me a ride back home today, and we had one of our characteristically weird conversations that probably makes us seem crazy to bystanders, but whatever. Anyways, he dropped me off right as my mom opened the garage - I thought she was going out, but apparently she didn't know I had a sectional and thought I got kidnapped or something. I thought she knew since I told her at the same time I told her about the robotics meeting yesterday, which she knew I had... In any case, she was freaked out. Fun times.

DONE!

With more than one thing! xD

Finally finished with all of my testing. Technically I was done back in June, but my parents wanted another humanity, and I was like, eh fine. Then I realized that I had like no humanities I could take because...
1) Like hell I'm retaking French, I'd get a 200 or something
2) I don't know any other languages besides Chinese which isn't worth it to take since it'll have virtually no weight because I AM Chinese
3) I suck at history, so I probably would do worse if I retook USH (and I wouldn't bother with World), plus it's a decent score
So... Lit it was. Which is ironic because SAT IIs are supposed to be in subjects you like, and lit is pretty much SAT CR on steroids. And I suck at CR. But it's chill, because I got a 770, which is nice (especially since lit has the lowest average - it's the only subject test in the 500s). Though compared to my math/bio/chem scores, now all of my schools will probably be like, "Oh hey, she's good at math and science and... oh..." Eh, whatever. xD

We're done with our t-shirt cannon! Well, the physical building part, we just need the programming to hook it up. I feel proud because I helped attach the motor, and came up with the idea that we used to mount the cannon to the base/robot. And it looks hella sick too, which is a plus. I also got to use the bandsaw and drill press. =] I'm new and like the only girl there, so it makes me proud that I can contribute something.



Also finished sending my ACT scores to all my colleges. That was like over a hundred dollars gone in like 5 minutes. Just wow. (I sent my SAT scores to my EAs too, but as I haven't finished it for all my colleges, so it's not officially on this list. xP)

I wish I could say I finished my Caltech app, but sadly, I'm still working on my essays... Ah well. I got a decent amount of stuff done today, so I'm happy.

Well, Damn

Got my rifle work changed with Mindy/Ellen, which really wouldn't be a big deal, except the new work is pretty fast and I suck at it... But apparently Elaine says Laura and I execute it better. Laura definitely does, because she's a boss, but me, not so much... I'm so annoyed at myself because I'm always like half a count late and half the time I catch super awkwardly... -sighs- Guess I'll just have to work on it a ton before Saturday...

I have a TON of bruises and cuts from guard, it's insane. My left knee is almost entirely bruised from having to kneel at the beginning of the show. xD I also got a tiny cut on my thumb from my rifle today, which didn't hurt all too much, but it was deep and bled quite a bit. =[

Other news - SAT scores out at 2am. Nervous, but not overly so, since this score really isn't necessary for me... Although if I don't do well, it'll be a question of whether I care enough to take it again... I'm also super tired right now, so I might just get someone to call me at 2, wake up and check the scores, then go comatose again. Hm.

Number One Done!

I was a bit too busy yesterday to post this, plus I wasn't feeling too well after it happened, but I sent in my first college application yesterday! MIT will be reading my awesomely weird short answers soon! xD

*****

In terms of news for today, I completely fell down the stairs today. I'm not even sure what happened really, because I was walking... I guess I stepped too close to the edge on a step, and since I was wearing socks, just slipped. Anyways, I slid down six steps, then failed and hit my back on the last stair. My spine still hurts...

Speaking of which, I'd ridiculously sore everywhere. My spine from the stair incident, everything else probably from guard. My right shoulder's been hurting like hell, my left thumb seems really screwed up, and I have random aches in my legs and sides. Bleurgh

I'm craving lots of food we don't have too... -sniffles-

I'm going to go watch some Heartstrings to make myself feel better (close to finishing!) and then sleep. =]

Del Oro TOB

1st place Division 2A Band (5th overall)
5th place overall Auxiliary

Comp itself went well - my show had a few blips and a drop (-sniffle-) but otherwise, it was good. The drop was ridiculous though, it wasn't really even my fault... -sighs-

Drumline performed first this time - I thought they did pretty well, but apparently they thought it could have been better. I guess it always works that way, that the people involved are harsher on themselves.
It was really scary beforehand though, because we had a pretty bad injury. All of the drumline members with bells were holding them up because they're super heavy, and Stephany accidentally let go of hers, and it completely ripped her fingernail off. It was super scary and I felt so sorry for her... She's a trooper though. =]

It was super hot outside. SUPER hot. We had our warm-up, and then set for competition - rifles are kneeling in the beginning. So when I got up from the starting position, I got super light-headed and dizzy, but it was like, "Oh it'll go away." Then I tossed, and like a split second after the rifle left my hands, my vision went pitch black. So there I am, having tossed my rifle, not being able to see, so I probably looked ridiculous trying to catch it. I sort of stuck my hands out and prayed the rifle would hit them. Which it did, but I wasn't able to catch it... =[ Then I felt REALLY screwed because I couldn't see where it was to pick it up, but it turned out okay because my vision came back.
It was super scary though, because I was thinking about what would have happened had I fainted or not gotten my vision back. If I fainted, I would seriously just be lying in the middle of the road for the guard and band to trip over, because no one would stop the show - I'm assuming Mr. J or Elaine or someone would go drag me out. If I just didn't get my vision back, it's almost scarier because no one would know anything was wrong for a while, and I wouldn't be able to take myself out of the show because I can't see where I'm going...

I got a chicken teriyaki bowl for lunch, which was actually really yummy, and a cherry/watermelon shaved ice. Yum.

I also did awards for the first time ever, and it was super fun but also super hot. My feet were burning so much I could barely feel them, and they STILL tingle. I feel sorry for Abbie (and the band) since they were in their big, heavy, stuffy uniforms. Guard had it slightly easier. Speaking of which, I have a very distinct uniform tan - it's super attractive. =P

We had some drama on the way back from the comp though - apparently some band members were saying how guard doesn't work hard enough and how we "finally" placed. They even made Aileen cry. I was pretty pissed, and tried to keep my temper, so I just said how we practice a lot more than the band given our practices are longer and we've been having weekly sectionals since the school year started. But it was just annoying - I don't criticize the band because I don't know what it's like to be in it, so don't criticize us when you have no idea about what guard is like. Whatever, most of the band acknowledges that each section is hard in it's own way.

In any case, Foothill next week! =]

Take Me Away

.

Take me someplace where the lights shine brighter at night.

*****

Sometimes I'm really just sick of myself. All those years of having people look up to me for my "intellectual prowess" seem to have gotten to me. I don't know what the hell I'm doing or why the hell I'm doing it. Maybe it's just punishment for thinking I don't have to work as hard at something. Maybe it's a lesson.

I don't know. I feel helpless. Isn't senior year supposed to be relaxing? How come I feel like crying from disappointment and frustration half the time now?

You've Fallen For Me ~ Jung Yong Hwa

I love his voice, it's amazing. =]

Blah Calculus

.
I am so amazingly screwed for the test tomorrow, I just want to cry. I never thought I've be having problems with my math grade...

Confessions

.
Even with all of my accomplishments and knowing that others looks up to me, sometimes I still feel completely useless and like a failure.

One reason I like helping others is because it makes me feel needed and appreciated.

Nothing ever seems to be enough. There are too many expectations to fulfill with too many opportunities to fulfill them, and it's just a fact of life that I can't take all of them.

It annoys me to no end when others don't try as hard as they should. If you're going to do something, at least try to do it well. It especially annoys me when the person not trying hard enough is me.

It makes me sincerely happy to just see you every day.

I haven't touched my piano seriously in over a month. I feel like a chunk of my soul is missing, but at the same time, I feel like it's unimportant compared to college apps and everything else going on. And that makes me feel horrible too.

I hate planning to do something and just getting distracted or falling into a little "I just want to sit here and sulk for a bit" lapse.

Despite my seeming ridiculously hyper and happy all the time, sometimes I could really use a hug.

My greatest comfort in life right now is colorguard. I never realized just how much I love it, but I almost want practices every day. No matter how tired I am after practice, or how frustrated, it's just one of those great joys that nothing else can replace.

Screwedness --> Seeking Solace

.
My crappy calc grade, shitload of homework I'm putting off until the weekend (which is also a comp weekend), and screwedness for college apps (mainly supplements and especially those for EA) lead to me being sad and very, very worried for my future. I mean, I know I'll get into a decent college, just because I'm not TOO crappy of an essay writer and my numbers are, if I do say so myself, pretty good, but I just want to achieve more.

"Reach for the moon; even if you fall, you'll land among the stars." I've heard that, and while I get the meaning, I'm the type of person who, if I'm reaching for the moon, won't be content with landing among the stars. I'll be disappointed in myself; I was trying to get to the moon. I want to reach that damn moon. Although the saying doesn't even make sense really, because most of the stars are further away than is the moon...

Basically, I'll accept Berkeley and such, but there's always that knowledge that everyone, including myself, expects more of me. It's not so much that they'll be disappointed, although that hurts as well, because I've learned to not live for others. It's that I'll be disappointed.

Anyways, I got completely off-topic. Basically, me feeling sort of like a failure and just being very nervous, but being too tired to and not wanting to do any more work (I'm so so so very tired lately), leads to me watching Heartstrings. Jung Yong Hwa ♥

Raining Heartstrings

.
The post title sounds a lot better than what I have to say. xD Basically, I spent 3-4 hours in the rain running and spinning, and I really need to watch Heartstrings.

The band got to leave at like 5:45. =[ It makes me sad, because there we are, running in the rain and spinning in the rain and generally being more in the rain than them, and they get to leave an hour and 15 minutes before we do... -sniffles- Ah well, whatever.

Heartstrings is a kdrama with Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye (Shinwoo and Minam). I REALLY need to watch it, if only because I'm obsessed with Yong Hwa and spent a good while of my life wishing there was a drama with him as the male lead. Now there is! xD But aghhh I have college apps and lots of homework... =[

*****

Dusky slept on my lap a lot yesterday because it was raining outside. xD He only ever comes in for food or to avoid the rain. Ah well. He's such a cutie-pie.

Clarie did something weird to her pinkie - like the bone got pushed up inside her finger... She needs to get a mini surgery tomorrow and get pins put inside it. -cringes- And she probably can't do guard for the rest of the season either...

We have new guard jackets - I'm only getting mine embroidered with my name though. Weird as that sounds, and as much as I wish I could be uniform with the rest of the guard, it's ridiculously expensive and I already have a guard jacket, so it's sort of pointless for me to get another even if they are nicer. Plus it's my senior year so I don't really want a jacket that I won't wear in the future (since no one really wears high school apparel to college). So I'm just going to get a plain jacket with my name. Well, Clarie's paying for most of it as an advance Christmas/birthday present. xD

College... -sighs-

.
I feel so amazingly screwed for college applications... I have so many damn supplements to write... I'm tempted to just not apply to as many schools because of the supplements. I still need 3 more essays and a TON of short answers for my early action schools... -sniffles-

Jhay Had Way Too Much Fun With This

.
Nevertheless, I love it. He wrote in a pseudo-ending for our show, since we won't have time to finish it before Cupertino. It's pretty awesome, sort of cute, and really quirky, so hopefully it'll leave a good impression on the judges. =]

On the other hand, band left more than an hour before we did! D=

*****

I love Ross and Simion. Mutual love-hate right there. Maybe more hate than love from their end. xD Ross fails at getting me to let go of his backpack, and I completely didn't steal Simion's sandwich today. They're just really fun to talk to, and they can somehow handle all of my weirdness, which is pretty awesome. Although I say it's unfair when they gang up on me...

Ah life. How I love you at times. Even if I DO have a shitload of stuff to do that I haven't yet done... I feel so screwed for college...

Meanwhile, I'm listening to the River Flows in You - Wedding Dress mix on repeat. I really love that - it sucks that there's no sheet music...

1000 Digital Posts

I'd like to dedicate this post to all of my friends. They put up with my crazy randomness and while rather mean at times, are always there for me when it really matters.

I love you guys!

Shout-outs to the besties =]

Clarie: We've only known each other for what, two years? Funny, cuz we're twins. It seems like forever though... I love our random inconsistent spirit days and how we always argue with each other without actually arguing. Colorguard's so much more fun with you in it! We've both seen each other at our worst and obviously at our best too. Are we doing another anti-homecoming this year? I love our awkward ways of paying each other back - "I'll just buy you something at the next comp" - and being completely mean to each other sometimes. I know I can always count on you if I need anyone to talk to. Now that you can drive, we should totally go out more! I'm off to college soon, but I'll be back for your graduation!

Courtney: I bet you regret ever talking to me in 7th grade, huh? =P These past few years have been absolutely amazing (I finally hear you talk on a daily basis)! xD Aha, just kidding. But yeah, I'm so glad I met you! I know our conversations are more me talking and you sitting there wishing I weren't talking, but feel free to tell me to shut up if need be. Despite your little antics of saying how you hate that you see me every day (first AND last thing of your day!), I know I can always count on you when I just feel like ranting, and you'll always bring me back down to earth and temper some of my craziness. Despite your self-depreciation and pessimism, I want you to know that I think you're absolutely awesome - you'll definitely go far in life. Of course, can't ever forget that you're also an insane pen-spinner! (I can still only do the thumbaround thing...)

Robyn: Ah, my fellow immature kindergartner. I'm so lucky we had Foss together freshman year, or we probably wouldn't have become as close of friends as we are. I love how you're every bit as crazy, random, and hyper as I am (possibly more so), and how we can totally go crazy. It's sort of amusing how Courtney hangs out with us so much, no? I also love how you're shorter than me (I'm totally going to get hit for that). You're super chill and always willing to help, and I have to say that you'd be the absolute best partner-in-crime ever! (Although we'd be so loud, clumsy, and ridiculously stupid that we'd perpetrate the worst crimes... xD)

Lisa: Trash can buddies! You're completely awesome to hang out with, even if that means that our little math sessions are utter failures and just turn into random everything-but-math sessions. I know you worry and stress a ton, and girl, I just have to say, there's no reason you need to. You're every bit as smart as you think I am, even though you believe otherwise. You'll go far in life, and you can look back and laugh at how worried you were about the future in high school. You do have a bit too much drama at times though, but it seems like you've found your prince now though, huh? -winkwinknudgenudge- We better stay in touch in the future, and we can chill and be awk together in college! =]

Ross: Oh Ross. What should I even say? Hm... Despite your apparent enjoyment of my pain, you're pretty chill. I know you probably wouldn't do it if you weren't comfortable around me in any case. Our conversations when we first started carpooling? I swear you barely talked and I felt like a weirdo (not that I'm not one). I super miss our carpool rides and having random conversations about random things on the way to/from school though. You're super sweet and an absolute gentleman (I can totally understand why my parents like you so much). You can be pretty awkward at times, although that's just hilarious. I still think you'd be an absolute boss at interpretive dance... All of these super random memories from random times... I'm really going to miss you when we head off to college, so we better stay in touch! (Not that you can really prevent it, because "I know where you live!")

Brandon: Wow. Nine years of friendship. Pretty beast right there. xD We've been through a lot together - I skipped a grade, you quit Chinese school, then we didn't see each other at all for like two years during middle school. It's pretty awesome that we were able to talk so easily after so long - I can't say that would have worked for everyone. You're super chill and easy to talk to, and I love hanging out with you even if you do make a few too many jokes about my height. I was taller than you in elementary school! For a while... We need to hang out more after I'm through with college apps and all this crap! Nine years of friendship, and way more to come! =]

*****

Vaishu, Bhumika, Hsiang, Simion, Eric, Tommy, Peter, Tony, Kim, Davy, and everyone else that I know and love - you guys are all super awesome! We better hang out more before we (or I at least, psh juniors) head off to college!

As for the double Ellens, David, Melanie, Jung, and all of you other college peeps, you need to come back and visit me! =D

*****

To the Go5, thanks for making my time at COSMOS all that more enjoyable. Shiori and ToTo, I haven't been able to keep in contact with either of you that much, except for the pokes. xD Go online more! As for Brandon, oh, those random as hell conversations at 1am... Chris, you don't know what you're missing out on!

Are we still on for that winter trip to Tahoe/LA? =D

River Flows + Wedding Dress

.
This is absolutely amazing - I'm going to learn to play it someday when I have an extra few hours on my hands. Second semester senior year? xD Totally deserving of my 999th post.

Tonight

.
Guard completely rocked that halftime, at least from what I saw. I also got shoved in with a double on flag (which I have never legitimately tossed until now) since Brianna and Christina were having troubles with their pass. In any case, my toss went well, and the show, from what I could see, was pretty awesome indeed.

I love football games, just because I get to talk to people. And eat nachos (they're good!). Be awesome with the guard and hang with band members. Ross is mean though. =[

Time to go eat some food, watch some TV, relax, and sleep in prep for the SAT II Lit tomorrow. Yay. xD



Personal critiques for the future -
1) Totally started late. Caught up pretty well though...
2) Awkward walk into the circle and stumble after the double, but that was most likely because it was new...
3) Gotta learn that dance a bit better. Semi-late on the kicks.
4) Picked up the flag the wrong way after the dance. =[
